Well, perhaps in the fanfiction the Hogwarts staff might have been unfair in grading his exams. Like giving him lower marks than he deserved just because they had some sort of prejudice against him. It could also be that they wrongly accused him of something he didn't do, like misbehaving or cheating. Another reason could be that they failed to protect him or his friends from some sort of danger at Hogwarts.
I think McGonagall would be very influential. She is strict but fair. She could teach Harry about responsibility and the importance of rules in the wizarding world. Also, her transfiguration skills are top - notch and she could pass on great knowledge in that area to Harry.
It could be Dumbledore. Dumbledore is always full of surprises and he might give Harry the staff as a last - resort weapon to fight against Voldemort. He could have been secretly researching the staff and its powers and decided that Harry was the only one who could wield it properly.
Some staff members might be amused. For example, Hagrid would probably chuckle at the creative ideas in the fanfiction. He has a simple and good - natured personality, and he'd find the different takes on Hogwarts and its students quite interesting.
Professor Snape is extremely popular in fanfiction. His complex character, with his hidden loyalties and deep - seated emotions, makes him a fascinating subject. Fans often explore his past, his relationship with Lily Potter, and his true feelings towards Harry. Another popular character is Dumbledore. His wisdom and the many secrets he held during his life are ripe for exploration in fanfiction. Hagrid is also well - liked. His kind heart and his unique connection to the magical creatures make for great storylines. He's often the subject of stories about his adventures outside of Hogwarts or his relationships with the students.
Well, it would be a very different Harry Potter story. Since he's raised by the Hogwarts staff, he might not have the same experiences with the Dursleys. This would probably make him more confident and less of an outcast at first. The staff could train him in magic in a more collective way. For instance, Snape, despite his initial dislike for Harry in the original, might have a different relationship if he was involved in raising Harry. He could teach Harry potions in a more personalized and perhaps less hostile manner as he would see Harry as part of the Hogwarts family from the start.
In this fanfiction, Harry might use the staff for various magical purposes. Maybe it could enhance his existing powers. For example, it could help him perform more complex spells with greater ease. He could also use it to defend himself in a more unique way compared to just using his wand.
One possibility could be that in the fanfiction, Hermione is adopted by Professor McGonagall. McGonagall, being strict yet kind - hearted, would see Hermione's potential and take her under her wing. She could offer Hermione a more stable and nurturing environment within Hogwarts, away from any potential problems in her regular life. This might also lead to Hermione having an even deeper understanding of Transfiguration as she would get more one - on - one time with McGonagall.
Some might. Dumbledore, with his broad - minded nature, could see the value in the creative interpretations of the wizarding world. He might approve as it encourages the expansion of the magical universe in the minds of the fans.
If Harry Potter gets a custom staff in fanfiction, it could be a key element in a new adventure. Maybe the staff was created by a long - lost wizarding group, and in order to fully understand and master it, Harry has to embark on a journey to learn about the group's history and magic. This could lead to him uncovering secrets that are important for the whole wizarding world.
